Coated hydroprocessing catalyst

A coated hydroprocessing catalyst comprises:

• a hydroprocessing catalyst comprising a porous support and at least one metal supported on the porous support;
• wherein
• the porous support comprising silica, alumina, titania or combinations thereof, wherein the porous support further comprises a zeolite having a FAU, MFI, MOR, or BEA type framework;
• and
• the at least one metal selected from International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Groups 6, 9 and 10 metals;
• a catalyst activation agent, a catalyst deactivation agent, or both loaded onto pores of the porous support, the catalyst activation agent comprising at least one sulfur compound and the catalyst deactivation agent comprising at least one nitrogen compound;
• and
• a coating layer on a surface of the hydroprocessing catalyst, the coating layer encapsulating the catalyst activation agent, the catalyst deactivation agent, or both within the hydroprocessing catalyst, wherein the coating layer comprises a polymer, or a paraffinic oil.
